LazyWeb Request: Need Firefox 1.0 HelpUpgraded from Firefox .9 to 1.0 a couple days ago. After updating all my extensions and getting my skin up to date, things are running along nice and smooth. But somebody out there has to be able to help me with this. When I used to click on external links (say a link in an e-mail message or a link in a document) it used to open a new Firefox window. Now it uses the same window, which I don't want it to do because I'll sometimes lose stuff I'm working on. Is there any way to make links coming from external sources open in a new window, or even a new tab? 6 CommentsChris Scott said on 11/16/04 @ 03:34 PM:Try Tabbrowser Preferences to open them in new tabs. Get it for Firefox 1.0 from the developer's site: http://www.pryan.org/mozilla/site/TheOneKEA/tabprefs/ Jon said on 11/16/04 @ 03:37 PM: Yep, just go to Tools, Options, Advanced, and under "Tabbed Browsing" there's a setting for opening links from other applications: New window, new tab in the most recent window (which I do), current window. Jake said on 11/16/04 @ 03:37 PM: I had that extension installed, but it didn't cooperate very nicely. Kept bringing tabs to the foreground when I had the boxes checked that said load in background. When I ctrl-click a link, I want it to open in a new tab, in the background, and not bug me. Regardless, I'll try again with it if I can't come up with anything else. Jake said on 11/16/04 @ 03:43 PM: Perfect, Jon, thanks. Obviously that setting didn't get copied over before, and I could've swore I checked that before. Annoying.... Neil T. said on 11/16/04 @ 05:23 PM: FYI: The options Jon described are brought over from Tabbrowser Preferences. TP is now an obsolete extension, I believe. Jon said on 11/17/04 @ 12:11 AM: Yeah, the settings are new to Firefox "out of the box" (er, something like that). That's why the preferences didn't transfer... Post a comment |
